Infrastructure proposal:
Help bernd improve the FreeCAD CI so that we can have something like https://builder.blender.org
+ the ability to create builds on demand from pending PRs for testing (think Toponaming!)

Improve Headless FreeCAD which includes:
  • Improving the **/App/ portions of the code, allowing them to be more autonomous of **/Gui
  • Improving support to use headless to batch convert files from one format to another (includes making import/export of numerous formats more robust)
  • Improving docstrings (link)
  • Improve FreeCAD's ability to be remotely deployed on a network

I would like to see the ability to edit curves in the Curves Workbench.

Check if you can access the GSOC platform, if not, mail Sean so he can add you.

To anyone else interested in mentoring: If you did it already in the past, check if you can log in at https://summerofcode.withgoogle.com , if not, send a mail to Sean. If you never mentored before, post here or DM me!

I have a few suggestions: Multi-Threading support, more robust fillet solver, and ability to add point on bspline and set tangent geometry to it.
Cheers!

First two are OCCT stuff, not FreeCAD. Also I think solver is not the right terminology for fillets, I guess it's filleting algorithms. (AFAIK solvers is the name for the algorithms that numerically solve equations)
I would love to have the bspline stuff, not sure if it's too complicated for a student.
